Tobacco Cessation

Quitting Smoking or Tobacco Use

Whether you are exploring this page for the first time or you are attempting to quit smoking or using tobacco products for the 10th or 100th time, we welcome this chance to support your efforts to quit! To increase your chance of success, schedule an appointment at Student Health Services (703-993-2831) specifically for tobacco cessation.

Tobacco dependence is the number one public health problem in the world and the single most preventable cause of death in the United States– not to mention the cause of many respiratory infections, bad breath, premature wrinkling, yellowed teeth AND a huge money drain!

Get one-on-one help in strategizing a plan to quit smoking. You will meet with a healthcare provider who can review information on all the latest nicotine replacement therapies and assist you in identifying and overcoming your personal triggers and obstacles.

We are eager to provide students with ongoing support in this difficult task of quitting smoking. Even if you are just considering the possibility of quitting, schedule an appointment and let us help you!
